Any version of a repository item can be retrieved directly when browsing its
history either in the History view,
Directory Change Set view, or Revision Graph
view.

Resurrect Items Deleted from the Repository

Directory Change Set view, or Revision Graph
view.

What was new in Syncro SVN Client 8.1

March 14, 2013

Version 8.1 of Syncro SVN Client offers support for committing changes to multiple
repositories at once. Also, the functionality of the commit operation was enhanced and
further improvements were added regarding the representation and deletion of working copy
items.
Syncro SVN Client can be freely evaluated for 30 days and can be purchased for a
price of USD 59.

Commit to Multiple Repositories

Syncro SVN Client offers support to commit working copy items across multiple
external definitions in one single step. No more overhead to handle external modified
items one by one. Even more, for SVN 1.7 working copies, externals from the same
repository are committed together, resulting less revisions generated in the
repository.

Remove Items from Version Control

Easily remove items from version control using a dedicated option. You no
longer have to take different actions to avoid erasing files from your working copy when
needing to remove items only from the repository.

Improved Working Copy Items Deletion

Any item missing from a working copy can be deleted, including missing
directories. The Delete action is more powerful and can help you with removing working
copy items that have states raising issues and unusual behaviors.

Improved Commit

Committing working copy changes has never been easier. The Commit operation
was improved to help you when committing new items in the repository (unversioned or
added), by automatically collecting their ancestor directories which also need to be
versioned. Also, missing directories are now deleted when committing them. Finally, the
commit dialog box was redesigned to present items in a working-copy-like style and
information more appropriate for this operation.

Improved File Handling on Case-Insensitive File Systems

File renames outside of the SVN client, on case-insensitive file systems, are
better handled regarding the Delete and Commit operations. The situations when a file
was lost after changing only letter-cases of its name were removed.

Better State Detection and Triage of Working Copy Items

The states of the working copy items are detected in a more accurate manner.
Any type of changes of a working copy item are now presented in the Incoming mode,
allowing you to easily spot all sort of changes, including the ones which cannot be
committed to the repository.

Easily Locate Files in Your File Manager

Working copy files can be easily located on your disk directly from the
Working Copy view. You don't need to identify the parent directory and search through
it.

Improvements and Bug Fixes

This new version comes with various improvements and bug fixes regarding
opening and saving files from the repository, the check out operation and locks handling
on commit. Memory and performance issues were addressed also.

What was new in Syncro SVN Client 8.0

price of USD 59.00.

Support for SVN 1.7

Syncro SVN Client supports SVN 1.7.5, allowing you to take advantage of the latest
SVN improvements and fixes. Previous SVN versions and older working copies are also
supported. New SVN 1.7 working copies can be easily identified by the information in the
status bar.

Extended Support for Exporting Files

The support for exporting files from a repository was made available also in
the Repositories and Revision Graph views. Now in the Repositories view it is possible
to export both directories and individual files.

Full Support for "svn add"

Starting with version 8, the "svn add" command and all its options are fully
supported. The resources not under version control are collected automatically from any
directory of a working copy.

Improved Handling of Unversioned and Ignored Directories

Processing content of unversioned or ignored directories can be avoided using
new options added in the Working Copy view. Syncro SVN Client can be configured to ignore
content of such directories, speeding up the loading of a working copy as well as other
SVN operations.

New Working Copy Data and Improved Representation

price of USD 59.00.

This version does not support yet the
Apache SubversionTM 1.7 new features and working
copies.

Share Project

A new action allows you to easily share a project on an SVN repository. This
lessens the user effort by importing the project in the repository and converting the
local project structure into an SVN working copy, all in a single step.

Workspace Concept

Introduced the concept of a workspace, used for now to
assist you to checkout new projects in a predefined location.

Improved Working Copy Handling

Optimized the loading of working copies and switching between them. The load
operation became more responsive, allowing you to cancel it from an early

demand. This allows you to adapt the application to different viewing conditions and
personal requirements.

Redesigned History View

The History View was redesigned to optimize the screen area usage and to
improve the way the information is delivered:

Now you can group revisions by their commit date to easily locate changes in
time.

Improved representation of the paths affected in a revision, following the
same design used in the Working Copy and Repositories views. Data sorting and key
search features were added to help you easily handle large sets of affected
resources.

a fresh look and improved functionality of file comparison tools.
Syncro SVN Client can be freely evaluated for 30 days and can be purchased for a
price of USD 59.

Improved Working Copy Locks Representation

File locks in the Working Copy view are now presented using graphic symbols,
which allow you to rapidly identify files with active, broken or stolen locks. Also,
when synchronizing your working copy with the repository, you can see the current lock
state of files in the repository, including those locked by other users.

Added Locking Support in Repositories View

Repositories view now presents the existing file locks when browsing
repository content. Now you can lock or unlock files directly in the repository, using
actions available in the Repositories view.

Improved File Comparison Representation and Functionality

Comparing algorithm has been improved to detect differences at a finer level
of granularity. Besides the old detection of different blocks of text, Syncro SVN Client
brings a second level of comparison, by directly emphasising word differences inside
these blocks. Management of differences was improved by presenting an in-place widget
which gives quicker access to actions which allow you to copy or replace content of the
currently selected difference.

SSH Host Verification

Improved connection security when accessing for the first time a repository
through SSH protocol. Now, Syncro SVN Client allows you to interrupt the connection to
an untrusted SSH host.

Added Name Conflict State for Working Copy Files

Syncro SVN Client signals the existence in repository of files considered to
have the same name on a case-insensitive operating system, like Microsoft Windows. These
files are marked as being in a Name Conflict state in your working copy.

Component Updates

Updated SVNKit library to version 1.3.5, compatible with Subversion 1.6.15,
which contains various bug fixes and improvements.

What was new in Syncro SVN Client 6.2

April 6, 2011

Version 6.2 of Syncro SVN Client focuses on improving the Repositories view, offering a
new design, improved related actions workflow and an optimized repository
access.
Syncro SVN Client can be freely evaluated for 30 days and can be purchased for a
price of USD 59.

Redesigned Repositories view

The Repositories view was redesigned to display repository resources in a
filesystem-like fashion, allowing easier access to Subversion relevant information, like
author name, commit date, revision number and resource size.

Repositories view workflow improvements

The contextual menu was reorganized to provide easier access to repository
operations. Also, switching to the History view will automatically display the history
log of the currently selected resource.

Optimized repository access

Information already acquired from the repository is reused in some cases,
leading to reduced network traffic and faster operation execution times.

Important bug fixes

Fixed a series of issues, with the most severe ones affecting Mac OS X
users.

What was new in Syncro SVN Client 6.1

November 23, 2010

Version 6.1 of the Syncro SVN Client improves the information presented in the Working
Copy view and delivers better performance of the SVN related tasks and compare
operations.
Syncro SVN Client can be freely evaluated for 30 days and can be purchased for a
price of USD 59.

Support for "--ignore-externals" Option

You can choose to ignore "svn:externals" definitions when exporting or
checking out from repository or when updating resources in the working
copy.

Working Copy Workflow Improvements

All Working Copy view modes contextual menus have the same content and
structure. They are dynamically built and display only the actions which can be applied
for the selected resources.

Working Copy Information Improvements

Information about the resources file type is presented in the Working Copy
area in a new column, which allows you to sort the resources according to the file
extension. The external and switched resources are marked consistently in all working
copy presentation modes. Resources in a real conflict state are marked differently than
those in pseudo-conflict state for an easier identification.

Improved Status Bar Information

The application status bar presents graphical hints corresponding to
different working copy options. For example, you can determine if the ignored/deleted
resources are being presented or not in the working copy or if the externals definitions
are processed.

Improved Diff Editor and Integrated Diff Tool

All compare algorithms were improved, they use less memory and need a shorter
amount of time to perform compare operations. The Diff Editor presents the names of the
last authors who committed the compared files. More information here.

Component Updates

SVNKit library was updated to version 1.3.3, which contains various bug fixes
and performance improvements.

What was new in Syncro SVN Client 6.0

July 23, 2010

Version 6.0 of the Syncro SVN Client brings improved performance, a new application
interface and a complete redesign of the Working Copy layout.
Syncro SVN Client can be freely evaluated for 30 days and can be purchased for a
price of USD 59.

Redesigned application layout

The application interface was changed and the Working Copy view was
completely redesigned as a filesystem like layout. The Working Copy and Synchronize
views were merged into a single central, easy-to-use view, allowing you to choose what
SVN-related information the application displays.

Configurable Working Copy view

The information presented in the Working Copy view is customizable: you can
remove or reorder the columns and sort their content according to your needs. Relevant
information about incoming changes, like the author name, commit date and revision
number is available at a glance.

Performance improvements

What was new in Syncro SVN Client 5.1

March 11, 2010

Version 5.1 of Syncro SVN Client
improves
working copy load time, automatically refreshes the working copy on external file changes,
makes repository browsing more responsive, adds support for repository imports at file
level, adds support for replacing resources, improves handling of obstructed resources,
improves history support, allows creating branches/tags directly from the repository and
offers options to print and save as image a revision graph.
Syncro SVN Client can be freely evaluated for 30 days and can be purchased for a
price of USD 59.

Faster working copy load time

A working copy is cached, so that its next load operation in the Working Copy
view will be much faster due to reloading it from the cache.

Automatic refresh of the working copy

The working copy is automatically refreshed when changes are detected in the
file system. This is done in order to update the state of the resources modified by
external applications.

More responsive repository browsing

You can configure the repository connections timeout and stop non-responsive
repository browsing operations.

File level repository imports

Added support for importing files into a repository.

Support for replacing working copy resources

Working copy resources can be replaced with their HEAD or BASE
revision.

Better handling of obstructed resources

Operations correctly take into account obstructed resources.

Improved history support

The history of a resource deleted from the repository but which is still
present in the working copy is now displayed by properly detecting the revision at which
the resource was deleted.

Branch/Tag directly
from
the
repository

The Branch/Tag action can be performed directly on the repository, without
having a working copy previously checked out.

Print and save as image a revision graph

Generated revision graphs can be printed or saved as images.

What was new in Syncro SVN Client 5.0

August 11, 2009

Version 5.0 of Syncro SVN Client adds the Diff Files and Diff Directories tools, updates
the main menu and toolbar actions for the Working Copy, Synchronize and Repository views,
and comes with a new application toolbar for easy access to the most common SVN
operations.
Syncro SVN Client can be freely evaluated for 30 days and can be purchased for a
price of USD 59.

Diff Files tool

This tool allows finding the differences between two local files using six
different diff algorithms and applying some options like ignore whitespaces, merge
adjacent differences, etc.

Diff Directories tool

This tool allows finding the differences between two sets of files that have
the same names but are located in different folders. Two files with the same name can be
compared with the binary content method or the last modification timestamp method.

User interface update

The menus and toolbars were changed. Some actions were added or removed in
the menu bar and in the views Working Copy, Synchronize, Repository, History so that the
most used actions can be accessed faster. A new toolbar was added.

Specify working copy format at checkout

Sometimes a working copy is used with more than one SVN application that may
not support the latest working copy format. For compatibility with such applications the
working copy format can be specified at checkout: SVN 1.4, SVN 1.5 or SVN 1.6.

Upgrade and downgrade working copy format

If the user does not want to upgrade the working copy format to the latest
format he can do that later with the Upgrade action. A downgrade action is available for
users who need compatibility with applications that do not support the latest working
copy format.

What was new in Syncro SVN Client 4.2

May 15, 2009

Version 4.2 of Syncro SVN Client adds as main feature SVN 1.6 support. Other additions
include improvements to the symbolic links handling and a better performance when working
with revision graphs.
Syncro SVN Client can be freely evaluated for 30 days and can be purchased for a
price of USD 59.

Support for SVN 1.6

Syncro SVN Client supports SVN 1.6.2, allowing users to take advantage of the
latest SVN improvements and fixes. Previous SVN versions are also supported, the user
being able to decide whether a working copy should be updated to version 1.6 or
not.

Tree conflicts handling

Subversion 1.6 recognizes a new kind of conflict, known as a "tree conflict".
Such conflicts manifest at the level of directory structure, rather than file content.
These conflicts include deletions of locally modified files and incoming edits to
locally deleted files. Syncro SVN Client allows to handle these conflicts offering a
dialog that lists possible solutions for solving these conflicts.

Improvements to svn:externals

Subversion 1.6 allows to link to external files by putting their URLs in the
svn:externals property on the parent folder. Syncro SVN Client allows you to create,
update, commit and remove external links from the user interface changing automatically
the svn:externals property as needed.

Improved revision graph performance

Syncro SVN Client stores the result of a revision graph operation and reuses
that for further operations on the same repository, thus avoiding unnecessary requests
to the SVN server for the same data. This results in a noticeable increase in
performance.

Access to network SVN file repositories

Network SVN repositories can be accessed using file URLs of the form
"file://server/path".

What was new in Syncro SVN Client 4.1

December 4, 2008

Version 4.1 of Syncro SVN Client adds a create patch wizard, a dialog for quickly
resolving conflicts resulted from a merge action and considerable performance
improvements.
Syncro SVN Client can be freely evaluated for 30 days and can be purchased for a
price of USD 59.

Create patch wizard

This wizard allows you to create two patch types: a patch between a working
copy resource and a repository resource or a patch between two repository resources or
two revisions of the same resource. Other options like folder depth, ignore ancestry,
ignore whitespaces or include unversioned files can also be specified.

Quickly resolve conflicts resulted from a merge action

All the conflicts resulted from a merge action are listed in a dialog in
which each conflict can be manually resolved or you can choose a generic action for
automatically resolving all of them.

Major performance improvements

Many common SVN actions like refresh, add, revert, update, merge, show
history etc. were improved so that now they perform faster. Also, on Mac and Linux
computers, you can control the SVN symbolic link support. If you don't need this
support, you can disable it, which results in improved performance for common actions
like those above.

Scroll lock button in Console view

A Scroll lock button was added in the Console view. It disables console
automatic scrolling when a SVN operation logs many messages in it. This allows the user
to control the view and have enough time to read the displayed messages.

Updated the SVNKit library

The SVNKit library was updated to the latest version - 1.2.1 - that supports
all Subversion 1.5.4 features.

What was new in Syncro SVN Client 4.0

September 2, 2008

Version 4.0 of Syncro SVN Client adds Subversion 1.5 features like merge tracking,
sparse checkout and relative URLs for the svn:externals property and a merge wizard which
simplifies the SVN merge operations.
Syncro SVN Client can be freely evaluated for 30 days and can be purchased for a
price of USD 59.

Support for SVN 1.5

The SVN Client has been updated to support SVN 1.5 working copies and
repositories.

Merge tracking

Starting with SVN 1.5 the revision at which a branch is merged is remembered.
This is useful for the next merge operation when only the changes committed to the
branch after the previous merge operation are considered.

Sparse checkout

Sometimes not all the files and subdirectories of a repository are needed in
a working copy. In these cases only the needed subdirectories and files can be checked
out from the repository by selecting one of the following checkout depths for a
directory: recursive, immediate children, file children only, this folder
only.

Update to revision

A new action "Update to revision" is available in the Working Copy view. It
allows updating the resources selected in the working copy to an earlier revision from
the repository. The depth of the update operation on the folders can be selected from
the values allowed by SVN 1.5 sparse checkout.

Relative URLs for svn:externals

The value of the svn:externals property can be specified using a relative URL
as defined by SVN 1.5.

Improved merging support

A merge wizard was added to perform complex merge operations easier. Three
types of merging are available: merge revision ranges, reintegrate a branch and merge
two different trees. Advanced merge options can also be set.

Improved Open With action

The action works now on multiple file selection and is available in the
Working Copy view, Synchronize view and Repository view.

What was new in Syncro SVN Client 3.2

June 11, 2008

Version 3.2 of Syncro SVN Client adds a set of improvements to the previous version:
filtering the content of the History view based on revision number and commit date,
computation of the SVN annotations on a limited range of revisions, modification of the
attributes of a revision in history, configurable shortcut keys for actions, editing a
conflict with an external diff application, editing of global SVN configuration files and
some new comparison actions.
Syncro SVN Client can be freely evaluated for 30 days and can be purchased for a
price of USD 59.

Filter revisions in History view

The content of the History view can be filtered now also by revision number
and commit date. In previous versions it was filtered only by author name and commit
message. A Search button was added and the string entered in the search field is applied
only when the button is pressed. This improves the performance of previous versions in
which the filter was applied for every character entered in the search field.

Get the annotations of a specified range of revisions

When the history of a file is very long getting the annotations of a file
(the author name and revision number that edited the last time each line of the file)
can take a lot of time. If you need only the annotations created by a specific range of
revisions you can specify a start and end revision and get only the annotations of that
range.

Modify the attributes of a revision in history

When the commit message of a revision is not clear or it does not cover
exactly the purpose of a committed revision this message can be modified directly in the
SVN repository. Also the SVN user name that committed a revision can be
modified.

Review modifications in files that will be committed

Now it is possible to review directly from the Commit dialog the
modifications that are about to be committed on a file. Just double click on a file in
the list of files presented in the Commit dialog for reviewing the differences between
the local version and the latest version from the repository with the file diff
tool.

Configurable shortcut keys

Now it is possible to set and change shortcut keys for a large set of user
actions available in the views and dialogs of the application. The configurable actions
are listed in the Menu Shortcut Keys panel from the Preferences dialog.

Edit conflicts with an external diff application

The external diff application that is configured for viewing the differences
between two revisions of a file is used now also for editing a SVN conflict generated in
a local file by updating the file from the SVN repository.

Ignore ancestry in a SVN merge operation

Usually the two trees of SVN resources are merged only if they have a common
ancestry. Now the case of merging two trees that are not related by a common ancestry is
also supported. This is useful for example if one of the trees was imported in the SVN
repository so the common ancestry is not available.

Edit global configuration files

The SVN client tool can be configured also with the parameters set in the
global SVN files called 'config' and 'servers'. These parameters are applied to all the
SVN client tools that are used by the same user. These two files can be opened for
editing with two edit actions available on the Options menu.

Apply the external diff tool in three-way diff actions

The external diff tool configured for two-way diff actions is applied now
also in three-way diff actions: edit a conflict, compare the local version of a file
with the latest version from the repository HEAD.

Compare two files selected in the Working Copy view

The differences between two files selected in the Working Copy view can be
displayed with the action Compare with Each Other available on the right click menu in
this view.

Compare action on a revision from history

The Affected Paths area of the History view displays both files that were
only modified and files that were added together with the currently selected revision of
the history. Now a compare action is available in the Affected Paths area also for added
files.

Compare action on a revision of a merged file

When selecting the revision of a SVN branch that will be merged with the SVN
trunk or with other SVN branch it is useful to review the differences between a revision
of a file displayed in the Affected Paths area of the History dialog and the previous
revision of the same file. A compare action is now available in the Affected Paths area
for displaying these differences.

What was new in Syncro SVN Client 3.1

February 21, 2008

Version 3.1 of Syncro SVN Client introduces two new presentation modes in the
Synchronize view (the compressed mode and the flat mode), new actions in the Working Copy
view, in the History view and in the Synchronize view and a compare folders action on the
revision graph of a folder.
Syncro SVN Client can be freely evaluated for 30 days and can be purchased for a
price of USD 59.

Compressed mode and flat mode in the Synchronize view

The compressed mode presents the SVN resources in the Synchronize view as a
tree with two levels, grouping the resources by their parent folder. The flat mode
presents the SVN resources as a list. These modes are useful when you want to update or
commit to the SVN repository the content of a folder without going recursively into its
subfolders or for obtaining the complete list of the SVN resources that need to be
synchronized.

Revert the changes of a revision

In the History view it is possible to revert the changes made by a revision
to a resource by selecting the revision and locating the resource in the affected paths
panel and using the "Revert changes from this revision" action from the contextual menu.
The changes are reverted in the current version of the file in the working copy. If the
change was in fact a SVN delete operation the result will be the restoring of the
deleted file in the working copy.

Get Contents action in the History view

A new action was added in the contextual menu of the History view for
replacing the content of a file from the working copy with the content of a revision of
that file from the history.

Compare with Branch/Tag action in the Working Copy view

This action compares the working copy version of a file with a revision from
a SVN branch or tag. The branch or the tag can be easily selected using a repository
browser dialog.

New External Folder action in the Working Copy view

A new external folder can be created quickly by entering the folder name and
the target in a dialog that sets them in svn:externals property.

Compare two revisions of a folder directly from a revision graph

The set of changes that were committed between two revisions of a folder can
be computed with an action executed directly from the revision graph of the folder. The
result of this compare action is displayed in the Directory Change Set view.

Support for external SSH clients

The command line for calling an external SSH client can specify any parameter
accepted by the external SSH client. The SVN username can be other than the SSH
username. The SVN username can be specified separately in an authentication dialog or
Syncro SVN Client will use the default SVN username set on the server for the SSH user.

What was new in Syncro SVN Client 3.0

January 15, 2008

Version 3.0 of Syncro SVN Client introduces visual editing of SVN conflicts, a view
with all the changes between two revisions of a SVN folder, setting a reference revision
number to the SVN repository browser.
Syncro SVN Client can be freely evaluated for 30 days and can be purchased for a
price of USD 59.

Visual conflict editing

An update operation may bring the local copy of a file in a conflict state.
The conflict state can be resolved more quickly if the conflicts are edited visually in
a compare view which presents the two conflicting versions side by side like a Diff
application. In the compare view the user decides for each conflict the variant which
will remain and will be finally committed to the repository: the local one, the
repository one or a manually edited combination of the two variants.Play the video demonstration

Directory Change Set view

Sometimes a set with all the changes committed on any resource of a folder
and its subfolders is needed. The user just selects a start revision number and an end
one from the history of the folder and runs an action which gathers the set of all these
changes. The Directory Change Set view presents the set of changes in a tree format. The
revisions corresponding to a resource from the tree are grouped in a separate list.Play the video demonstration

Change Browse Revision action

A revision number can be set to the SVN repository browser as the reference
revision for all operations like browsing, checkout, compare, etc.

What was new in Syncro SVN Client 2.6

December 3rd, 2007

Version 2.6 of Syncro SVN Client introduces a filter option in the History view, drag
and drop operations in the Working Copy view, better indentation of text in the compare
panel and in the editor panel with the option to configure the size of the tab character.
Syncro SVN Client can be freely evaluated for 30 days and can be purchased for a
price of USD 59.

Filter the revisions displayed in the History view

When a SVN resource had a long history of modifications it was difficult to
locate the revisions with a commit message or author name matching a specified string.
By entering this string in a filter text field the list of history entries is restricted
on the fly to the set of matching entries.

Drag and drop operations in the Working Copy view

Files and folders can be dragged from other applications and dropped in the
Syncro SVN Client's Working Copy view as unversioned resources. The structure of the
file tree can be changed in the Working Copy view by drag and drop operations inside
this view.

Better indentation of text in compare panel and editor panel

An option for specifying the number of spaces for the tab character allows
you to configure the text indentation.

Password of SVN user stored correctly when the computer changes the IP
address

In previous versions the password stored in the local user preferences for
accessing a SVN repository was invalidated when the computer received a new IP address,
for example when it was connected to a different network.

What was new in Syncro SVN Client 2.5

October 29th, 2007

Version 2.5 of Syncro SVN Client introduces the options of associating a file type with
an editor and of specifying an external application for diff operations and fixes various
bugs.
Syncro SVN Client can be freely evaluated for 30 days and can be purchased for a
price of USD 59.

Associate a file type with an editor

For each file type the associated editor which opens files of that type can
be specified by choosing one of three options: the default external application
installed in the operating system, a particular external application specified by the
path to its executable launcher or one of the built-in editors.

Specify an external application for diff operations

If an external application is specified for diff operations in the SVN user
preferences this application is preferred for all the compare operations instead of the
internal diff tool.

Various bug fixes

A SSL certificate is correctly asked when a SVN server accessed by the HTTPS
protocol requires such a certificate. The correct encoding is used when a file is asked
directly from the SVN repository in compare operations.

What was new in Syncro SVN Client 2.4

June 6th, 2007

Version 2.4 of Syncro SVN Client allows to see the history of a resource as a history
graph in which every revision of the resource is represented with a node.
Syncro SVN Client can be freely evaluated for 30 days and can be purchased for a
price of USD 59.

History Graph

The history of a resource can be viewed as a graph in which a node
represents a revision of the resource. The icon and the background color of a node
represent the operation that generated a revision. The node contains also the repository
path and the revision number. The contextual menu of a graph node contains operations
that can be applied directly to the revision represented by that node: open the
resource, show the history in History View, compare with the HEAD revision, check out.

What was new in Syncro SVN Client 2.3

April 2nd, 2007

Version 2.3 of Syncro SVN Client allows to quickly find what happened in a project or
what a user worked during a given period of time, improves the integration with bug
tracking tools, adds application global ignores for unversioned resources displayed in the
Working Copy view and more.
Syncro SVN Client can be freely evaluated for 30 days and can be purchased for a
price of USD 59.

History Filters to Quickly Find What Happened

Ever wondered what happened today in your project? Or what John worked all
last week? You can get this quickly with the new filtering options from the Show History
dialog. First you specify a range choosing from either predefined intervals (today,
yesterday, last week, etc.), revisions or specific start/end dates and then you can
filter by author.

Extensible Set of Revisions in History View and History Dialog

The set of revisions presented in the History view and the History dialog can
be extended from an initial number of 50 revisions using two new buttons: get the next
50 revisions and get all revisions.

Improve the Integration with Bug Tracking Tools

The bug ID included in the Commit message is presented in the History view as
a hyperlink which opens a web browser at the page of the bug when it is clicked. The URL
of the web page with the bug must be configured with a SVN property.

Application Global Ignores

The unversioned resources are filtered in the Working Copy view based on
ignore filters set in the SVN preferences.

Show SVN Properties for Repository Resources

The action Show SVN Properties is also available for repository resources in
the Repository View and displays the properties of the selected resource in the
Properties view.

Order the Repositories in the Repository View

The order of the repositories listed in the Repository view can be changed
using two arrow buttons on the toolbar of the view.

What was new in Syncro SVN Client 2.2

March 5th, 2007

Version 2.2 of Syncro SVN Client adds support for SVN Annotations, integration with bug
tracking tools and operations on a revision from the Affected Paths area of History
view.
Syncro SVN Client can be freely evaluated for 30 days and can be purchased for a
price of USD 59.

Annotations View

This view enables you to quickly find the author and the revision number that
changed a specific line of a file. The Annotations view is synchronized with the History
view and the editor panel: clicking on a line in one of the two views or in the editor
panel highlights the corresponding lines in the other two areas.

Integration with Bug Tracking Tools

Users of bug tracking systems can associate the changes they make in the
repository resources with a specific ID in their bug tracking system. When the user
enters a commit message, the bug ID is added to this message. The format and the
location of the ID in the commit message are configured with SVN
properties.

Operations on a Revision from Affected Paths

In the Affected Paths area of the History view there are available operations
for opening, saving, updating, comparing and showing the history of the selected
revision.

Find Next and Find Previous Actions Extended to Text Areas

The Find Next (F3) and Find Previous (Shift + F3) work also in non editable
text areas, for example in the Console View, enabling quick searches without invoking
the Find/Replace dialog.

Open in System Application Action

This action was added in the Working Copy view for opening the selected
resource with the default application associated with that type of resource in the
operating system.

What was new in Syncro SVN Client 2.1

February 14th, 2007

Version 2.1 of Syncro SVN Client adds two new actions in the Working Copy view: Relocate
working copy and Switch location and also a series of enhancements and fixes.
Syncro SVN Client can be freely evaluated for 30 days and can be purchased for a price of USD
59.

The Relocate Action

When the base URL of the repository is changed, for example the repository is
moved to other server, the repository path of the working copy can be easily changed
with this action. The action is available also for individual resources of the working
copy.

The Switch Action

This action changes the location of a working copy or only an item of the
working copy within the same repository. The item must be versioned in order to allow
switching the repository location.

Fonts Configuration

The font family, font size and font style for the editor and the GUI
components are configurable. Text antialiasing can be turned on.

File Types Configuration

File associations can be defined between a file extension and the type of
editor that opens the file. If the file extension corresponds to a built-in association,
for example .xml, .xsd, .xsl then the user defined association redefines the built-in
one.

Encoding for Non-XML Files

For XML files there are well-known rules of encoding detection. For other
file types if the encoding is not the platform's default one it needs to be specified in
order to read the file correctly.

Optional Upgrade of the Working Copy Format

When a working copy in the SVN 1.3 format is loaded in the Working Copy view
it can optionally be upgraded to the SVN 1.4 format.
